I give Trump nothing for his bullshit statement

[A-Schwarzenegger]

on white supremacists, KKK, Nazis, etc. Nothing. He had to have it beat out of him with a thousand sticks. And he read it as if a vise was being tightened on his nuts. He is without a single moral stitch, incapable of even faking leadership, a rotting bloated puppet, stupid as cardboard, an unhomogenized abomination of a president. When this dimwitted lummox goes down, every decent person in the world will celebrate. Then we'll deal with the next idiot, Pence, that sack of puritan hypocrisy, the very embodiment of the banality of evil. But first, may Trump be hounded from every angle and direction by a plague of ravenous bedevilments until he runs screaming from the White House that he and his evil carnival clan have defiled.

1. He stomped out of the press conference like a angry caveman

2. It was easy to see how much he disliked giving today's statement.

He was pissed off as hell and he couldn't even fake sincerity - someone said the "press conference" looked like a hostage video. He did it only because he was somehow persuaded by some advisors - maybe Jared and Ivanka, who might have been uncomfortable as the Jewish children of a guy who wouldn't denounce Nazis by name. It certainly wasn't at the behest of Bannon or Gorka.

This might be a turning point. I sure hope so.

5. yes, maybe the turning point

that break's the camel's back,
capped with the Gallup 34 today

4. The only interesting thing about it

was that finally, somebody figured out how to get a vise around his nuts. Let's face it, we haven't seen that for the two years that he's been in the public eye.

I could give a ding dong damn about what he said, too, but I'm intrigued at the exact mechanism applied. Was it Ivanka sobbing on his sleeve, or was it John Kelly threatening to quit if he didn't mouth the right words for the camera? Or was it someone with influence over him that we really haven't thought about yet?

6. i saw a headline that somebody(ies) in the circle

was trying to get him to go harder anti-Nazi in the first speech,
but he defied them... So it may be "Ok, you were right"

7. Trump never

admits he was wrong, not from a logical thought process, anyway. At this point, I'm waiting for a story to come out either about how Ivanka, identifying as Jewish, really got to him about Nazis, or how John Kelly, who knows how the military feels about Nazi Germany, threatened to blow off his administration.

When has he ever gone back on anything he's said? When given an opportunity to backpedal, he usually doubles down.

8. Either way, didn't last long:

"Made additional remarks on Charlottesville and realize once again that the #Fake News Media will never be satisfied...truly bad people!" -Tweeter-in-Chief

9. Makes me wonder

what he'll do the next time someone gets his nuts in a vise. Clearly, he doesn't think that he was effective at undoing the damage, so I predict this is the last backtracking we'll ever see on his part.

[A-Schwarzenegger]

10. He's like the sullen guy in "Barn Burning" by Faulkner

who deliberately walked across some rich people's immaculate white rug in his horseshit-covered boots... Backtracking dont help...

11. I love it

12. good!
